The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Saltbox Bar for the lauch of Mollis fried chicken kitchen takeover. If you didn't already know, Mollis is known for their ULTIMATE fried chicken on derby road next to Alchemilla by Alex Bond chef Saltbox have teamed up with Mollis for a 3 month kitchen take over in Bolero Square next to the entrance of Motorpoint Arena Nottingham Its available every Friday and Saturday evening from May to July. We chose a couple of chicken burgers. One with Nashville hot oil fried chicken miso ranch, beer pickle, lollo rosso, furikake. The other,Classic southern fried chicken kewpie mayo, pickles, lettuce, cheese sauce. A side of Fries,house seasoning topped with parmesan. Pink fir potato, truffle curd, crispy onions and a roasted garlic mayo sauce. They also serve some amazing chicken wings, either 6 or 12 in two delicous coatings. If you've not managed to make it out of the city to try them before. Theres no excuse now, as you can pop in when you go to a nearby event or you just want some really good chicken in the town. You can even order it to take-away.

Stayed over and precooked, upon arrival was told we had booked the wrong dates, definitely not, then was told the price had changed and to pay in cash only, queue running round for a cash machine. Eventually received a room key and when i say I’d rather have slept floating it’s because it was dire. No bottom sheet on an absolutely filthy mattress, odd bedding, dead moths and flys on the small bed, blocked toilet and apparently the room had been serviced… complained and the bedding was changed. That’s it. Rude bar staff with an aggressive husband. No help what so ever. There was a chair in the hallway with excrement on and someone had just covered it with a cushion! Do not stay here. We weren’t the only ones with problems but no one cared so long as they got the money. Oh and I have photos, too many to post but I’m sending them to environmental health instead.

Took 15 minutes to reach the front of the queue of 5 people, not enough staff on duty. Staff advised against purchasing a mince pie @ £1.50 each as they thought they were too expensive. The cakes looked nice but at £4.50 per slice were too expensive too.

What happened? This was one of our favourite garden centers, lots of interesting things to look at and a great place to buy gifts. We haven't been for a while as what was a great cafe with good food and lots of choice had gone down hill, the food was expensive and not good. Today's visit will probably be our last. The garden centre is a shambles, very run down, although the new seasons bedding plants look lovely The cafe menu is very poor and expensive I've been coming to this garden centre for over 20 years, it's such a shame to see it how it is today

So disappointed . I ordered 2 slices of toast for my grandson. One slice only came out which was bad enough but it must have been stale bread because I nearly broke a tooth trying a bit . I banged it on the plate and thought I was going to crack it . I took it back and the second piece was brought out softer , different bread but looks of it but it had zero colour just warm bread . Again I told the same member of staff and all he said was yeah blame the toaster !! Shocking . Below is a photo of my replacement toast

Lovely staff. And great food ,, I had a steak knife and didn’t realise I was using the wrong side of the blade ,,, it was that tender , mixed grill fantastic, but go when your really hungry there’s loads

Wow. Never have I been spoken to before as a customer in such a rude manner. Staff were unprofessional. Was once a great local pub, sad to see what it has become.

Nos reunimos en el León Rojo justo antes de Navidad para almorzar con un amigo. Servicio excelente. Compartimos el plato del arado y aprovechamos la oferta de bebidas calientes y pasteles ya que los pasteles se veían tan bien. El pastel Clements de la calle estaba delicioso. Bonito ambiente. Personal amable. No me sentí apresurado. Lo recomendaría.

Went to the Carriage House for a coffee knowing there was work going on but that was fine. We asked if there was any hot food and was told by a very surly member of staff that they didn't usually do bacon rolls but they were today ??? We asked when they would be ready and told they were in the oven but didn't know when they would be ready amd we couldnt order one. At 10:30 we went to the hot counter and bought 3........£19.50 !!!!!!! A tiny roll just defrosted, 2 half pieces of cold back bacon, £6.50. Chatsworth has really lost the plot and we will never eat there again.

Excellent pub and Inn, owner Bernard and his staff were incredibly welcoming, rooms were lovely, food was outstanding - highly recommend this Inn.

Having to place this review under this page as the name changed to Beachcomber Inn many years ago but for some reason it hasn’t been updated on trip advisor. Me, my husband and stepson recently came to Butlins for the festive wonderland break (in between Christmas and new year) we have been to the beachcomber inn before however it was 2018. On one particular visit it was just me and my husband who came for breakfast. We had toast each, cereal each, a latte and an americano and it came to around £11. It is slightly more expensive than a pub chain outside a resort but that’s fine, it’s to be expected. Nothing really to report on breakfast as it would have been difficult to get wrong! Another visit we came for our lunch.. my stepson just had a bowl of chips as he doesn’t always have the best of appetites, my husband had the mixed grill and I got a jacket potato with chilli and a separate portion of cheese. Unfortunately the cheese was missed off my order so we had to request it and when we originally placed the order for the jacket potato we were told that i could not have one because it was after 3pm however on the menu it does not state this. Anyway to cut a long story short the kind lady behind the bar put the order through for me. It’s an average pub with average pub grub, don’t expect the ritz and you won’t be disappointed l.

Visited on a Thursday and was empty. Lacked any atmosphere. Food menu was okay as was the food. Friendly staff in modern cafe style setting

Having had a pretty awful experience at the Whitworth terrace cafe I came here with my parents for lunch. We had toasted sandwiches which were well made, tasty and well presented with a lovely crunchy salad. The staff were friendly and attentive. I would recommend this cafe to anyone.

Cold cheese and onion toasties cold cappuccino, should have complained, but as just opened will give another chance will give another go just to see

An update. Wide range of low and alcohol free drinks now available - including Guinness Zero. Also much improved food offer with a wider choice. One of the best real ale pubs in the area.
